That's sad news, I liked Jeremy Hardy. According to the piece I've just read from the Independent he once had a performance cancelled by Burnley Council after saying ( in his very funny R4 programme Speaks to the Nation) that BNP members should be shot.

He could be a tad too lefty for me but he was always good value on the News Quiz on radio 4, and was funny and knowledgeable. Surprised to hear he presented top of the pops once!

Found him very funny in 'I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue.'

Apparently he upset a lot of folk & was once booed by the audience during Radio 4's, 'Just a Minute', when given the word 'Parasite' to talk about for 60 seconds & he began talking about the Royal Family.

He was a very politically involved individual so on reflection I think you are correct, even though I didnt agree with a most of is politics I did find him very funny and very intelligent and only 57, I hate cancer.
